Warframe: SOLO TOROID FARMING | ALL 14 CAVES WITH HIDDEN TOROIDS

[@thegrindshack]

GUYS PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT FINDING TOROID ON CAVES IS RNG-BASED. YOU MAY FIND A LOT IN ONE RUN OR YOU MAY NOT FOUND ANYTHING. I'M JUST SHOWING YOU HERE WHERE ARE THE CAVES THAT SPAWN TOROIDS. PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE BEFORE MAKING HATING THIS VID.

[@apex_7766]

Lotus Bless You Tenno. My friend already hates me for taking him down the elevator in the Temple of Profit with a 4-star notoriety level and getting our warframes smashed into plastid-like paste. My plans are always a bit on the.... Masochistic side. *Then again I think it was telling him he had to farm every type of fish and mineral and then present them* *to the ventkids to get the hoverboard that put him in a bad mood... hehehe....*

[@pardalokatsiki52]

And i can get as many as i want if i find them tho or if i pick one there is no way to find again one of this

Why do ppl hate and think there will always be something in a certain location in an RNG based game. Sorry Squad Leader for all the greenhorns.

[@tardigrade1303]

Thanks a bunch....I was pretty much farming 4 specific caves. Got over a 100 in a few days, but now that I see there are 10 additional ones....Yikes.... Thanks again.

I had found most of these places (a few of them surprised me, and I still haven't been to a couple of these caves yet), but I only found 2 toroids while I was out exploring. Now that I have a map, I might be able to spend some time farming these up soon, so thanks for putting in the footwork to put this list together!

[@kedolan4992]

I actually just found a second spawn in cave #2, there's a pillar of rock with some mushrooms/etc near the top, that has a small tunnel in the wall right at the top. Found a toroid up there, AND in the lower water tunnel thing, in the same run!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Amazing work. Thank you. When I found one on my own using the pump to lower the water is was pretty fun. I didn't think they'd be so many more because I had explored many other caves and not seen anything like it. Just a little more looking is all it takes.

[@botterminator]

They add these little "puzzles" in the caves, but there's really nothing to do in them. They look cool, interesting, beautiful at times... but there really isn't anything in them. Just an empty waste of time and that feeling is multiplied when you find a little hidden area you interact with annnnnd then there's nothing there. DE has good concepts, but nothing to fill the emptiness.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

@@botterminator It breaks up the constant running missions killing hordes. Even rescuing animals can be annoying compared to just farting around caving.

9 Minutes that saved about 2 hours of my life waiting out the Space Port for enemies drop toroids

[@Ethanol2Go]

It's 2020 now you can find Vega/Sola/Calda toroids in one spot. I did quite some runs over the time of 4 hours with an average runtime of 6-7 minutes and based on the outcome (alot of "empty"-runs) i consider this method as a huuuuge timewaste. If you need toroids i suggest to hop in caves(11-13-14) during bounties, do Vox Solaris heists (1&2) or join a group which farms them(most efficent imo). Despite what i wrote above the video is a nice walkthrough and shows all locations...thumbs up :)

[@racineg33]

Thank you Squad leader, I was hoping for an alternate way to farm for these, other than killing mobs. I find it so disappointing when you bust your balls to kill a bunch of high level enemies solo, and get nothing. At least like this, I can take it easy, spend like an hour of chill farming after I get home from work. Plus caves are a great source for mining materials.

Seems like this is a new addition: There is another cave that can spawn toroids! The one near the Transit Depo, to the left. It has a side-path, its right on the middle where they can spawn! I was mining and bumped into them by chance, it spawned 3 at that time, so I got lucky. You might want to add that to the list. Hope you guys find some there as well! Maybe this means that they added some more spawn locations that flew under the radar?

[@KavzarTheBlind]

Just a heads up, guys, drop rates might have been affected by a recent Hotfix, in which scannable collectables appear in almost the exact spot where most of these Toroids spawn.

[@o.w.i.m]

I have found at least half if not more of my toroids in caves, not saying I have any massive amount of toroids, but given that I found them all this past month I'd say that is proof this still works as of 2020-08-XX.. I was about to head out to get me some more toroid goodness when I decided to do a search on ways to do so efficiently. Ended up here watching part of this video. My only problem is not with the video in itself but the map image link which just does not want to work for me. Thus I guess I will have this Video stuck at 02:24 any time I decide to go spelunking. ;) @Squad Leader, thx!

[@cencluslolz8133]

TY with the new Toroid Cave Drops, it makes getting Toroids super easy. At leas 1 cave will have 1 of each toroid in a single spot. So far my max was 4 caves with 3 toroids in 1 spot. Total at end was 16 Toroids (with resource booster, wish I waited for Smeeta to give me buff first)

There is absolutely no logic reason to go on toroid farming in solo but your investisment is rlly impressive so i liked

[@sho1175]

kinda fun, but the number is actually 15. Found 3 by accident when mining in deck 12. Toroids can be found only in the transition corridor, that's why you may not have seen then with loot detector, as the zone wasn't charged before you go in

[@sho1175]

Wait just noticed how you only get 1 per cave. I actually found three, one of each base type (calda, sola, vega)

[@ciphymasterofmedia9104]

hey, if you will do a video on fishing in vallis specifically, I actually found out how to determine the points on a fish before you catch it. see each fish has these sort of ornaments on them. the more ornaments it has, the more points it has. for example the recaster is a block fish with yellow square holes in it. a basic one just has those holes but a magnificent one has metallic fins sticking out of them. basically to spot a magnificent fish, you have to pay attention to its ornaments. the more it has, the more points it yields. the orokin fish has rings on top of its head if it is adorned or magnificent.

@@just-in-time151 yea i know that feeling, best way i get them is i take nekros and i go to spaceport and kill enemies, i get 2 in 10 min, must raise alarm to level 4 or they dont drop from enemies

[@kajtekbezmajtek]

A full run (after you learned the proper path) takes you around ~15 minutes My runs (with the resource booster): 1st run - 6 toroids 2nd run - 2 toroids 3rd run - 4 toroids To put that into perspective, I got 10 toroids from a 10 minutes farm in Enrichment Lab (I was probably lucky tho). So, this is my take on it: if you're undergeared, go for exploring... but if you're geared enough, ifs better to simply farm them. PS: Seems like all kinds of toroids might spawn in each cave, they're not tied to the area they tend to drop from. PS2: effi/dura zephyr is great for that job

[@XannisV]

Oh boyo, I've just find 2 caldas after HOURS of farming and didn't know they spawn in caves! Gotta try find some, thanks!
